Crisp, clean finish. I'd like to taste more toffee and caramel. There is a touch of creamed corn flavor that seems out of place. Light bodied and short palate.

Criticism aside, this is super easy to drink, super easy to find, and usually a decent price point. A nice "go to" for those folks who are not too picky and want a non hoppy session. Less than 140 calories a bottle. Some of us are fatties and we cannot drink DIPAs and imperial stouts every day. I've tried that: see fatty comment above.

Look: Much like the Scotch Ale, this is a nice dark brown with a thick foamy head that lingers and leaves nice lacing. Light beige in color.
Smell: Roasty, toasty, and a sweet fruity aroma from time to time. Nothing too extraordinary
Taste: Sweet fruity and caramel notes come first, medium roastiness malt that isn't too noticeable, with very mild hop profile.
Feel: Smooth carbonation that provides a tingle, but nothing too extreme. Light-medium body.
Overall: Not a bad beer. 10x better than your average Bud Light but not something I'd actively seek out. A good "cheap" beer that won't offend anyone not used to them.

Pours amber, very clear with a very mild white foam head, almost no retention. aroma is mild of caramel and toffee, taste is also mild for an ale,, some caramel and low bitterness, very clean and crisp like a lager, it´s a much better amber lager than a brown ale.

Clear bottle and thin brown pour make me think how weak. Aroma was not much, maybe some tea leaves, not enjoyable.

Taste is a thin but earthy experience, if you don't like hops maybe this is your cup of tea. Kind of has quite a bit in common with tea actually. There's a tad of sweetness, but as far as malt, hops and yeast, I really don't pick up much discernable stuff.

Another maligned IMO legacy brew. A gateway for me along with some others that got me looking for something more than yellow macros.
Look: light, clear brown. Not much head to speak of.
Smell: light caramel, fruit and nuts. Not spectacular but a decent enough brew IMO.

Comes in a clear, reddish brown color with a thin white head that leaves spotty lacing.

The aroma offers toffee, caramel,cashews, and brown sugar.

Upfront you get semi-harsh graininess and minerality, and a touch of grass, and then darkly toasted brown bread, caramelized brown sugar, caramel candy, a nice cashew/pecan nuttiness, and a very lightly bitter earthy finish. Clean, with no aftertaste.

This mass produced brown ale pours a slightly reddish brown color with a thin white head. The smell is yeasty and slightly of molasses. The taste is of alcohol, toasted grain, a slight sugary sweetness and a slight bready molasses flavor at the end, which elevates it slightly above many mass produced ales in my opinion. The body is quite light for a brown ale and the malts don’t really have too much character, which is a hallmark of mass production. It’s nothing special, but not a bad choice for a mass produced beer. It’s certainly quite a bit better than the common American mass produced pale ale, though that isn’t saying much.

A: [3.75] Really transparent brown colored beer. It is a light brown color and is easy to see through. The head is off white and clocks in at about 1 finger. The bottle lists the ABV at (4.7%). There is a date code that I am not able to translate.

S: [3.25] Hazelnuts, chocolate and some skunkiness. When I open the bottle I got a blast of skunk smell but it is much less in the glass.

T: [3.00] Brown bread, hazelnuts not much else.

M: [3.00] It is on the thin side. Lacking a lot of body. There are no lingering flavors or feel on the beer.

O: [3.00] I would rank this as pleasantly surprised. I had low expectations especially when I got hit with skunk smell when I opened this. However, the nose and the taste are serviceable. The flavor is in no way complex so it is not great but it is drinkable. I would buy more for myself but I would drink it if offered. [I never read reviews or info before drinking a beer. As I went to type this I discovered that this beer is brewed by Heineken. The skunk smell I got on this beer is EXACTLY the smell I get on every Heineken. Mystery solved]

Bought a 19oz bottle from Don Quiojte $2.19
Clear brown amber color
Light carbonation
Slight malt smell
Medium-light mouthfeel
Sweet malt flavor, reminds me of drinking a flat cola
Overall ok to have once in a great while, just to remind you of what it is. It does have a distinct taste, just not my style

For a mass-produced blonde ale masquerading as a brown ale, this beer isn't that bad. The clear glass is silly, and almost assures a skunky aroma, and the color appears to be fake (caramel food coloring). The taste really isn't bad, however, and it tastes darker than it's body suggests. If forced to choose between mass-produced corporation-made beers, this might be your best bet.

Good beer has ruined me forever. Years ago I would have thought this was a good beer. Now it's just ok. It was best choice availble. Anyways it was too pale and clear for brown ale. To much carbonation. Oh well try of you must.

From 12 oz bottles.
I'm quite sure these were past their prime? Opening the bottle released a mixed bag of stale ale (almost skunk-like) and a slight hint of caramel...nothing else. Tasted like the smell, and I was unable to pull any of the oft-talked about flavors. The 2nd beer proved the 1st beer wasn't a fluke.

I tried to visit their website, but the link here, and from other search engines, sent me nowhere. Hmmph!

Literally thought a skunk had sprayed outside after pouring into a glass. Thick head is short lived and fades quickly. It does have a smooth taste and mouthfeel. However, there is nothing spectacular here in my opinion.

A - Ruby brown and crystal clear. Pours a rich off-white rocky head that lasts for a good few minutes.

S - This is where the beer suffers, apparently from it's packaging. A skunked aroma that overshadows everything else. Luckily it fades slightly over time. Picked up otherwise a strong metallic aroma, with hints of white grape juice.

T - Caramel and toffee, verging on bubblegum, followed by metal, slight fruit sweetness, and the slightest hint of roast bitterness on the back of the tongue and a slight Guiness-like sour tang

M - Very smooth, tight carbonation. Clean. I wish it had slightly more body.

I poured this from a bottle into a clear teardrop beer glass. Immediately, the skunk smell hit me. The color was a nice clear brown and it poured to a finger and a half head. The taste is pretty good. I've had this from a tap before with much less of a Skunky smell.

Here's one I haven't had in years. Poured from bottle to can glass. Color is an iced tea brown, and just as clear. Head is two foamy fingers that's gone before you blink. Aroma is skunked: stewed vegetables. Its somewhat foul and fascinating, I've heard and read about that skunked smell but this is the first time I've experienced it. Taste is quite different: slightly malty and nutty. Not a bad ale for a session if that's what you're looking for. Could do worse.

The Nukey Brown is my go to beer when all else fails and Belhaven Scottish Ale can't be had for dollar or euro. I've lately been pouring them from a 14.9 0z can with pleasant results. At 4.7% you can pound quite a few if thirsty. Serve cold and in a pint glass.

From Carrefour. In Ikea's pint glass. Watching Sons of Anarchy 6x06. Nothing special and watery, but very drinkable and with some taste. However, too much expensive for its quality. Should cost half for me to repeat.
